So we have this neighbour, he's sick with MS and I assume that he's smoking pot from time to time, or even on a daily basis. Anyway, we haven't seen him for two months now and some other neighbours told us that they heard he died from a drug overdose. Now, we were shocked to hear that because, we kinda know him and his fam and his mom already died from MS, his dead died a few months ago and we knew that if it's true that the son died too, then his young sister would be all alone....her whole family would be dead. That shit was depressing as hell.

So today we saw him walking through the neighbourhood and we all couldn't really believe it..... I'm so happy about that that I thought about him and his sis almost for the whole day....I'm glad that the guy didn't have to die such a horrible death and that his sister is not alone.....

Actually, after a guy got shot and killed at a bar two minutes away and some people being afraid that this could be the start of a clan war, this is the first good news around my neighbourhood. At least one happy ending.

You don't die from MS. As Richard Pryor said, MS can't kill you, it only makes you wish you were dead.

It does make you susceptible to other things that can kill you though. An MS sufferer I know has very recently died from another disease that a non MS sufferer could have recovered from.

On topic, this made me smile in my Twitter feed today.

Okay, thanks for the info. Didn't know that, her husband told us that she died from MS.

This technically isn't my good news for today because it happened last Saturday but I got married on the 26th. 2018 was a shit year for me, as some of you may remember, so at least I can say that 2019 is already a big improvement.

congrats Emma

that's even a bit more exciting than my news

Congratulations Emma. That´s some really good news.

I remember when you were in hospital and your brother (or fiancé ?) was replying for you here on the org. Glad you´re feeling better.

Congrats Emma

Can't beat a wedding or a perfectly manufactured poo, but I completed Veganuary today so I'm feeling quite chuffed with myself.

Congrats everyone.
Nothing exceptionally terrible to report so far today. That's my good news~! #positivity

Congrats Emma! Looks like you are going to Venice!!

I haven't had very many good days lately, but something great happened today! We adopted this little puppy from the pound, but we won't get her for 2 weeks because of her young age. I want to pick out a name for her that is Princely. So far I've come up with Paisley for the 1st name and Park for the middle name. OR Paisley Princez (princess), OR Paisley Reign. Thinking maybe of a play on the Paisley name to Paizley or something like that.

I don't know what kind of dog she is, her momma was dumped on the side of the road and was rescued and it turned out she was pregnant. The momma looks like a wired hair terrier.

Can anyone think of any other good names?
